Week 82: Sweet Chili Doritos - March 9, 2015

(Sweet Chili Doritos have become my new obsession, and I can only findthem at the bus station on the other side of Itú. Lets just say thatweve been using the bus a lot this week. THeyre so good.)

Hey everybody!!

(Sorry, this week will have no pictures, nor voice recordings. Imusing a computer thats going through a lot of malfunctions, so I dontwant to take the risk. Dont worry, the voicemail didnt have anythinginteresting on it. Just me rambling.)

So its been a pretty uneventful-but-good week for me here in Itú!!WEve been working to try and find some new investigators, this weekwith nobody that has a ton of interest. (Its easy to find new peoplethat are willing to accept your message, but its harder to findsomeone thats active enough to keep commitments.) So, heres the topinfo:

Alex: Hes just afraid of getting baptized right now because he doesntknow if he wants to commit to keep the commandments. Which is silly,because hes already keeping the commandments. He just doesnt want toput a name on it. Hes still reading and praying, but we dont knowexactly why hes acting so silly. We'll keep on working with him.

Luciana, Mary, Diogo: We finally talked to this whole family, andtheyre really good. Theyre looking for more peace and unity in theirfamily, so we're giving them some tools for them to become happier.THe only difficulty is that Diogo works a lot, so its hard to find andteach them together, which will be key in helping them. But, here wego.

Other notes:

Congrats to my brother, Jon, on getting engaged!!! That is awesome!!

These emails will be shorter today. We're gonna go to the mall on theother side of Itú! Its super fancy, so if possible I'll take somepictures.
